ARE YOU SURE?: According to the BBC BPI DG Andrew Yeates believes that "Put simply, paying for music has to be a better option than stealing it." Um... Andrew? While "selling music has to be a better option than giving it away" is inarguable, 'paying for something you can get for free elsewhere', on its own, isn't much of a proposition at all. If the BPI really believes that at the moment music downloaders are doing say while saying "If only we could pay for this", why not just set up a tip jar with Amazon?
What do you think?
